Industry standards body racks-up huge loss

Latest accounts from the Considerate Constructors Scheme show the industry standards body has suffered large losses.

Accounts for the year to December 31 2024 show a pre-tax loss of £769,000 from a profit of £165,000 last time as turnover rose to £5.9m from £5.3m.

During the period covered by the latest filings Amit Oberoi was Executive Chairman of the CCS after his appointment in March 2023.

He left the CCS in August 2025 at the same time as former consultant and Chief Strategy Officer Alex Minett.

The accounts reveal that during the year remuneration for key management personnel jumped to £598,695 from £399,374.

They also state that the CCS was invoiced £22,000 for “services pertaining to cybersecurity” by a company called Cybernetic Defence Ltd controlled by Zsuzsanna Lesko who is described as a “close family member” of Oberoi.

The accounts add: “The Board believes that this does not represent market value for the services CCS received.”

The company also paid £269,000 for the “preparation of ISO accreditation and others” to AM Compliance Consultants which was the trading name of Minett.

The accounts added again: “The Board believes that this does not represent market value for the services CCS received.”

The CCS charges contractors a membership fee to promote themselves as considerate companies.

One contractor said: “A lot of member companies will be really unhappy about these figures.”
